Let’s not be too harsh. He reportedly sent a condolence note, but it
probably included a commemorative photo of himself to mark the solemn
occasion.
After Zeituni Onyango, the woman President Obama once called Auntie,
died in a South Boston nursing home this month, her closest relatives
gathered her belongings at her nearby apartment. There, framed photographs
of her with the president covered the wall.
Weeping before a polished wood coffin at her wake this past Saturday,
they described Ms. Onyango, the half sister of the president’s father, as
“the spirit of the Obama family” and talked about raising money to send
her body back to Kenya. Mr. Obama helped pay funeral expenses and sent a
condolence note, Ms. Onyango’s family members said, but the president did
not attend, as he was golfing.
Well, at least the Times makes excuses for him.
Every complicated family is complicated in its own way. The Obamas, in
that sense, are ordinary. But the natural drift that has occurred within the
family — already separated by oceans and languages — is exacerbated by
politics.
“He leads his life, and I lead my life,” said Mr. Obama’s half
brother Malik Obama, who flew in for the wake and spoke emotionally about Ms
. Onyango, his aunt, who was 61. He said he “wouldn’t say” he and the
president had stayed close. “Because even my other brothers and sisters,
they are all over the place,” Malik Obama added. “Right now, I would say
that things have changed.”
In other words, Obama’s party and golf takes precedence over family. If
that racist slob Al Sharpton croaked tomorrow Obama would be delivering the
eulogy.
Today, many are doing their own things, although often that has
something to do with their connection to Mr. Obama. Malik Obama, the
president’s half brother and best man at his wedding, now splits his time
between Nairobi and Maryland and runs the Barack H. Obama Foundation.
“What can I say? It’s not doing as well as I would like for it to do,
” said Malik Obama, 54, who has raised money for the charity from friends
in Yemen and Libya, where he was supportive of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. “I
’m committed to it, and the reason for setting it up was the memory of my
old man.”
Remember when Obama pretended he barely knew Auntie Zeituni? Yeah, it was
total bullshit:
In 2000, Ms. Onyango moved to the United States on a valid visa, and in
2001, when Mr. Obama was an Illinois state senator, she helped take care of
his newborn daughter, Sasha, and did household chores for the family in
Chicago, according to Obama family members. But she stayed illegally after
unsuccessfully seeking asylum. When reporters found her in Boston public
housing during the 2008 election, Mr. Obama’s aides said he did not know
she was in the United States illegally and returned her $265 in campaign
contributions.
Wow, Obama lied? Whodathunkit? Well, he also lied about his drunnen uncle
Omar.
With an election on the horizon, the White House seemed to want nothing
to do with the uncle, who also had an outstanding deportation order. White
House officials said they had no record of any meeting between the president
and his uncle, but in court last December, Omar Obama said his nephew had
stayed with him for weeks in Cambridge before starting Harvard Law School in
1988.
A shame we don’t have a group of people who are paid to investigate lies
told by politicians. If only there was some profession to look into this
stuff. | m********8 发帖数: 7463 | 2 大总统要恩泽天下,思考治国安邦之良策,哪有时间眷顾这么多
